2022 KIA EV6 AIR Electricity · LG22 WPD

The vehicle presents a worsening maintenance trend regarding consumable wear items, despite holding a current pass status from its most recent test on 9 March 2026 at 46,316 miles. Both the 2025 and 2026 tests flagged all four tyres for wearing close to the legal limit with edge wear, alongside fluctuating front service brakes. The repetition of these specific advisories over consecutive annual tests indicates a persistent mechanical issue that the previous owner failed to rectify, pointing to neglected upkeep rather than isolated wear. Mileage accumulation is consistent with typical use for a four-year-old electric vehicle, averaging roughly 11,500 miles annually. The car covered 17,896 miles between the February 2025 test at 28,420 miles and the March 2026 test. This high rate of annual mileage aligns with the accelerated wear seen on the chassis and braking components. The MOT record is sparse, containing no failures or structural advisories, which keeps the core chassis integrity sound but highlights a clear pattern of deferred consumable maintenance. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the front braking system and the steering geometry. The fluctuating front service brakes noted in both 2025 and 2026 strongly suggest warped brake discs or potentially binding calipers, requiring immediate diagnostic assessment to restore effective braking performance. The consistent edge wear across all four corners points directly to a wheel alignment defect; the 2026 tester explicitly advised checking the alignment. Replacing the tyres without rectifying the tracking will guarantee rapid, uneven wear on the new rubber. Verify the front tyre sidewalls for the cracking and perishing flagged in 2025, ensuring the previous driver actually replaced those degraded tyres rather than leaving them to deteriorate further.
